   I was forced to take a time management course a week before college. The third class I was told this was a waste of my time, because I did really well at planning my time. Planning being a big word here. At the end of the course we had to write which was the best time management use for us. The paper was two hours late. The professor asked what happened. I told him I could not decide on a time management that worked for me. So I wrote about all of them talked in the class with pros and cons. That is when he realized I was horrible at actually going through with plans.

   That’s what happens. I tend to end up making a list of every possible thing you could ever want to do. haha. It would work great if i could actually follow through to actually DO the list. But as soon as something takes more than about 5 minutes to complete I get restless, disheartened, and its over.

   Nimthiriel, I don’t know if this helps you, but what has helped me from time to time is to examine each task in a list and try to detemine the greatest return you will receive on time and energy you invested in each. When I have been able to do this, I may have only completed one task of ten, but I have done the one with the greatest impact. Watch out for ànalysis paralysis`looking a list for so long you run out of time to do any task.

   I get so frustrated at work with all the work or stuff that needs to be done. I write simple word lists with boxes beside them that I tick off when I have completed the task. it helps at work but not so at home or away.

   My problem with making a list is that I can’t put things in single categories (because I can see how they fit into multiple categories), but I don’t like them being scattered al over the place.
   And how far do you break a list down, anyway??

   How do I sort the priority? Is it according to date? But what if there’s something really important that I need to do, but I don’t have a specific date to get it done by, or the date is far away?

   O.o’

   Even when it comes to writing the list, I have no idea when to start.

   You get so upset in situations like this, so frustrated that you just want to watch TV or go home, making a list really helps, but the overwhelm can just destroy all of your good intention, and making a list just takes the small amount of focus time you have away. or you over focus, and look at a huge list and then become more overwhelmed.
